About the USD to ZAR rate
The US dollar (USD) is the currency of the United States and the most used currency in international trade and reserves. The South African rand (ZAR) is the currency of South Africa and the most traded African currency.
The rate shown here is the reference rate the European Central Bank publishes once every working day, around 16:00 Central European Time, based on the daily concertation between central banks. It is a mid-market rate: the midpoint between buying and selling prices, with no margin added. Banks and payment providers apply their own rate and fees on top of it, so the amount you actually receive can differ.
